"The American movie industry is about 100 years old." (Walch 2003)
Of all art forms, film is the one that gives the greatest illusion of authenticity...of truth...A motion picture takes a viewer inside where real people are supposedly doing real things...We assume there is a certain verisimilitude, a certain authenticity, but there is always some degree of distortion." Annette Insdorf, film historian
According to a 2004 study of 200 films, rated G to NC-17, and 1,000 songs, entertainers were depicted doing drugs, drinking or smoking in 98 percent of the top movie rentals and 27 percent of the most popular songs in 1996 and 1997.– Office of National Drug Control Policy and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
